The Scholarly Database team at Indiana University is pleased to announce the release of version 0.8 of the Scholarly Database. This release adds two new data sources as well as provides updates to existing data.

New Data

The National Institutes of Health runs ClinicalTrials.gov, a central registry of clinical trials. The database includes both publicly and privately funded studies around the world. ClinicalTrials.gov was established by law in 1997 and made available to the public in 2000. The database includes data on trials, related diseases or conditions, interventions, eligibility criteria, locations and contacts. The Clinical Trials wiki page gives more detailed information about the dataset, including the table schema and data coverage.

The National Endowment for the Humanities was created in 1965 to award grants to promote excellence in the humanities and awareness of the lessons of history. It is one of the largest funders of humanities programs in the United States. The NEH wiki page gives more detailed information about the dataset, including the table schema and data coverage.

Data Update

The National Institutes of Health data has been updated to include data current through the Summer of 2012. In addition, new information linking grants to patents and publications is available. Information on the financial value of grants has also been added, where available.
